Man City fan jailed for damaging police car celebrations

A Manchester City fan, Leon Blackett, has been sentenced to 44 months in prison for causing over £10,000 in damage to a police car during celebrations after the club's Champions League victory in June 2023. Blackett, 22, jumped on the police vehicle, leading to its write-off. He was arrested in October 2023 after being identified through social media and CCTV footage. In addition to his prison term, Blackett received a seven-year Football Banning Order, preventing him from attending matches.
